THE CHALLENGES The Student Success Challenge Student bodies increasingly consist of populations that higher education has poorly served

THE CHALLENGES The Student Success Challenge The United States has among the least efficient post- secondary education systems in the developed world. • Fewer students graduate • Time to degree is longer • Student debt is larger • Post-graduation entry into a career is slower • Most graduates find work in areas not strictly related to their degree

THE CHALLENGES The Student Success Challenge The pipeline to a degree is extremely leaky

THE CHALLENGES The Student Success Challenge The financial payoff from a college degree has never been greater

THE CHALLENGES The Student Success Challenge The job sectors with the highest growth rates and median incomes require STEM training

THE CHALLENGES The Learning Outcomes Challenge The time students spend studying has declined sharply over time

THE CHALLENGES The Learning Outcomes Challenge

THE CHALLENGES The Cost Challenge Tuition and Fees in Texas Public Universities, 2003-2012

THE CHALLENGES The Cost Challenge Student Debt in Texas, 2004-2012

THE CHALLENGES The Business Model Challenge State funding per student at public universities has fallen sharply forcing institutions to find other sources of revenue

THE CHALLENGES The Business Model Challenge To save money, institutions rely increasingly on part time faculty

THE CHALLENGES The Equity Challenge There is an inverse relationship between instructional spending and student needs

THE CHALLENGES The Equity Challenge Family income is the best predictor of graduation rates

A New Educational Paradigm From an Industrial Age to an Information Age Model From: To: A mass production, one-size-fits-all model A personalized approach to education A transmission model Interactive forms of learning A sink-or-swim approach A goal of bringing all students to proficiency A lone-eagle approach to course design Collaborative design of courses

A New Educational Paradigm Innovative Educational Pathways New Avenues to Success Verticals Degree pathways that begin in high school Stackable Credentials Modules and certificates that can lead to degrees Work to Learn Credit for prior learning Coop Education that combines learning and work experience Military Crosswalk Credit for military training Competency-Based Credit based on mastery, not seat time Open Loop Lifelong learning opportunities

Chancellor William McRaven “You can’t get to success by being timid” Through the Institute for Transformational Learning, our campuses are taking bold steps to advance Texas’s human capital and prepare many more Texans to thrive in the rapidly changing world of work…. The ITL works closely with faculty across the System to implement future models of education that disrupt every facet of the learning experience…. I consider the ITL to be the UT System’s innovation arm. The ITL is a crucial tool in bringing growing numbers of Texans to success in their careers and their lives.

The ITL Approach Reengineering every facet of the learning experience We use design principles and the science of learning to create • An integrated curriculum with well defined learning outcomes and a clear value proposition. • A digital learning experience that is personalized, gamified, and highly social. • High-impact pedagogies that are inquiry-driven and challenge- based and that feature bilingual content. • Wrap-around student services. • Flexible delivery formats and schedules. • Fine-grained learning analytics and dashboards

In partnership with faculty across the UT System, the ITL is creating: Breakthrough pathways to student success In the health sciences, computer science, and engineering that can begin as early as high school. Next Generation Educational Infrastructure Including TEX, our state of the art digital learning, student services, and analytics platform, and the UT Learning Cloud, our systemwide provider of online learning. Wrap-around support services and advanced learning analytics To drive dramatic increases in student learning and post-program success.
